Ona Coffee introduces the STEM, a new tamper-like extraction tool designed for baristas to achieve greater consistency and speed. The tool is lightweight, durable, and compatible with most espresso machines, aiming to improve workflow and extraction efficiency.
Inside this video
From ONA Coffee:
“I knew that I had very small window to achieve that perfect shot.”
“We wanted to make it as durable as possible and this was a challenge while we were making it.”
“We're very excited to be able to share the STEM with all of you.”

How Cherrybook Index is calculatedavg coverage 25% · limited data
Coverage is below 50%. Available roaster-level evidence comes from Reddit. Per-lot evidence from SCA grades, Coffee Review entries, and public on-shop product ratings is limited across the catalog. With limited signal, scores are also pulled toward a neutral 50 baseline by the Cherrybook Index methodology, so lots can read flatter than the actual cup quality differences between them. The average Cherrybook Index therefore leans more heavily on roaster-level reputation than per-lot quality.

Four independent Reddit threads give Ona Coffee a favorable picture. A first-time drinker said the coffee would not be their last, another called the Raspberry Candy blend an all-time favorite, and a separate poster listed Ona among roasters they had tried and enjoyed. A Liberica drinker described an aromatic cup with smoke and tobacco notes while distinguishing it from dark-roast flavor.

The liberica I had was very aromatic, for sure, both ground and in the cup. I described the ‘burnt’ tasting note as bacon smoke, I think ONA described it as tobacco. But it wasn’t like dark roasted coffee. I dialed it in like I dial in any other coffee - primarily with grind size. I can’t remember more specifics than t
